Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's A case of identity Read by David Timson
A Case of Identity, with music by Dvorak and Grieg, tells the case of Miss Mary Sutherland, a woman with a substantial income, whose fiancé has disappeared. A truly elementary case, much as it puzzles Watson, barely challenges Holmes detective skills. The cool Observations and swift action of Mr. Sherlock Holmes resolves all.
Bornstein, putting on the mask of a delightfully tongue-in-cheek workbook, leads the reader through the forest of genders until they arrive to the clear lake of genderlessness -- or something else. Wherever the reader will end up rethinking gender in general and their own gender in particular, the trip there will be worth it alone.
Bornstein considers herself a gender outlaw because she breaks the laws of nature. A former heterosexual male and now a lesbian woman, Bay Area Reporter writer, and actor who has appeared on talk shows, she has completed the transsexual process, including surgery. As she considers her workplace the theater, about a third of this informative and profoundly humorous autobiographical work is devoted to queer theater, including her play, Hidden: A Gender.

This book outlines a compelling new agenda for feminist theories of identity and social relations. Using Lacanian psychoanalysis with feminist epistemology, the author sets out a groundbreaking psychoanalytic social theory. Campbell's work offers answers to the important contemporary question of how feminism can change the formation of gendered subjectivities and social relations. Drawing on the work of third wave feminists, the book shows how feminism can provide new political models of knowing and disrupt foundational ideas of sexual identity.
Code-Switching in Conversation - Language, Interaction and Identity
Collecting contributions from a wide variety of international sociolinguistic settings in which this phenomenon of code-switching is observed, this volume addresses the structure, function and ideological value of such bilingual behavior. The contributors question many views of code-switching on the basis of many European and non-European contexts. By bringing together linguistic, anthropological and socio-psychological research, they move towards a more realistic conception of bilingual conversation.
